As opposed to what--canine chess players? Bovine chess players?

SIGH... it's okay to say "players" because it is possible that the pieces
were directing themselves, hence playing.

I think the poster meant human chess PIECES. It's kind of a cute idea for
a commercial. If you'd seen it, you'd know. I don't know the name of the
music, however.

i once called the marines about this and was referred to their
advertising agency in atlanta. it's an "original" composition by a
composer the agency regularly uses and is not (or at least wasn't two
years ago) available in any form; besides, it's only 30 seconds long. i
write "original" because there are obvious classical influences. you might
want to start with orff's "carmina burana" and go one from there.

Thanks for going to the trouble; a number of people have wondered about
that. Wouldn't mind playing on the Marines's chess team, but the other
stuff they have to go through turns me off.
